Node 8 + Typescript + Koa + koa-Router throws "TypeError: ctx.onerror is not a function"

Question

I have a very simple server to play around with:

import * as http from 'http';
import * as Koa from "koa";
import { Request, Response, Context } from "koa";
import * as Router from "koa-router";
import * as bodyParser from "koa-bodyparser";

const HTTPPORT = 3000;

var app:Koa = new Koa();
var router:Router = new Router();

app.use(async (ctx:Context, next)=> {
  console.log(ctx);
  return await next();
});

router.get('/', function (ctx) {
  ctx.body = "hello world";
  console.log("success")
});

app
  .use(bodyParser)
  .use(router.routes())
  .use(router.allowedMethods());

const  httpServer = http.createServer(app.callback());
//listen on provided port
httpServer.listen(HTTPPORT, () => {
  console.log(`${httpServer.address().address} (${httpServer.address().family}) is listening on port ${httpServer.address().port}`)
});

unfortunately, it throws TypeError: ctx.onerror is not a function all the time.

Following the examples on GitHub for koa-router (https://github.com/alexmingoia/koa-router), my code should work just fine... Can you help me to sort out what is the problem with this onError message?

starting the server logs the following:

   { method: 'GET',
     url: '/',

    const onerror = err => ctx.onerror(err);
                               ^

bummer... it was bodyParser vs. bodyParser()

so

app
  .use(bodyParser())
  .use(router.routes())
  .use(router.allowedMethods());

work perfectly fine..

Thanks @saadq for the hint.. I was to blind to see I was missing the ()...
